Where to buy black powder?

[Dozer99]

Haven't been able to find No 11 caps anywhere in the last year. However, Just took a trip down to Reno and the Scheels in Sparks had cases of them. Made the trip worthwhile.

Good price, but buy a lot of it or the hazmat fee will kill that price. It's the same fee for one pound as it is for ten pounds, so best to buy as much as possible under one hazmat fee. If you can't use it all, get some friends to split it with.

And Graf's repackaged house brand is pretty good too. Just received some of their 2 and 3f recently.
Side of the cans says it's made by Wano.

Can't be that hard. I mean James T Kirk just wandered around and found everything lying on the ground and poured it into a bamboo cannon thingy.

Recently purchased 4lbs of Grafs & 4lbs of Schuetsen.
Both are made by Wano powder in Germany.
Same bottle, same powder, even the lot numbers are close.
It's good powder. Not as energetic as Swiss or Old English, but serves my purposes well.
Buy the Grafs with confidence.

Buffalo Arms in Idaho. They carry BP, but they cater to the Black Powder Cartridge crowd. Likely won't have any caps or rendezvous / mountain man fixin's.

Well, thanks a ton for sending me down THAT rabbit hole!

Turns out you can, it's *relatively* safe and easy but not as consistent as 'store bought'

Also I'm not sure how well my wife, chickens or suburban neighbors would react to a small trench / bunker in the back yard with a little rock tumble running 24/7

Aloha, Mark

You can, many excellent DIY instructions (in print) on the 'net. I find, what your charcoal came from makes a world of difference.

He's the fellow in Keizer.

Yep. Ken is a good guy. Very helpful. I thought he got out of the business so I tossed his card.

He had a booth at the Rickreall Gun Show not long ago, so I think he's still in business.
